Description

This caramel apple chocolate bark recipe has a wonderful salty-sweet flavor and crispy, chewy texture. All you need is five ingredients and a microwave.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 (11 ounce) package caramel bits (such as Kraft®)
1 cup crushed pretzels
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 (3 2/5 ounce) package apple chips

Directions

1 Line a 13x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2 Place 2 cups chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl; melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring after each interval.
3 Spread chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Cool.
4 Place caramel bits in a separate microwave-safe bowl; melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth and bubbles, stirring after each interval.
5 Drizzle caramel over chocolate, swirling evenly using a spatula; top with pretzels, pecans, and apple chips until fully covered. Place a separate large sheet parchment paper on top; press toppings into caramel by pressing on parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard top parchment paper.
6 Place remaining ½ cup chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl; melt in the microwave. Transfer melted chocolate to a resealable plastic bag; cut off a small corner, then drizzle evenly over bark.
7 Chill in refrigerator, 2 to 3 hours. Cut bark into squares or break into large pieces to serve.
